Infrared Windows

REO manufactures high precision windows for demanding applications in the infrared. These windows are fabricated from a variety of materials including fused silica, Si, Ge, ZnSe, ZnS, CaF2, MgF2, Cleartran and AMTIR. Utilizing advanced fabrication and coating techniques, REO delivers windows with tightly controlled transmitted wavefront, a high degree parallelism, minimal scatter, high laser damage resistance and outstanding durability for the most challenging environments.

Thin Film Coating

Over 20 years ago, REO became the first company to commercially provide Ion Beam Sputtered (IBS) thin film coatings. Today, we have expanded our technology to produce the highest quality thin films performing a range of functions across the full optical spectrum from the deep UV (190nm) through the long wave IR (14um). With a total of 35 coating chambers in operation, REO’s ability to produce the highest performance, lowest loss, most durable thin films across the spectrum is unmatched in the world.

Optical Fabrication

REO has a world-renowned capability for optical fabrication and polishing an extensive range of materials and geometries to the industry’s highest level of performance and quality. Utilizing a range of processes including spindle polishing, CNC polishing, diamond turning and continuous polishing, REO has the expertise to meet an exceptional range of fabrication challenges.
